Peter Lovesey Summons all Crime Fans (16/16 people found this helpful)
Peter Lovesey does not appear to get the credit this great series deserves. His detective, Peter Diamond, is a sleuth of the greatest order.
In The Summons, the third book of this series, Diamond returns to Bath and meets up with old adversaries, his ex-boss, and an escaped prisoner he was responsible for catching.
Despite his pernickety style and the cantankerous manner he adopts towards suspects, witnesses and colleagues Diamond is a genial character with one focus only, to find the answer. The plot involves a range of characters; from a faded pop star to a bunch of commune- living ‘crusties’ who all feature in Diamond’s attempt to find the truth behind a five year old murder he once was convince he had solved. Add to this the humorous tone which Lovesey applies in his writing and it is a story which becomes impossible to put down. The likeable hero fits the jigsaw of clues together until the crime is inevitably solved.
Ian Rankin’s Rebus and Wigfield’s Inspector Frost are both a similar type of police detective and I would recommend fans of these two authors to try this series as I am sure he will not fail to please.
The books can be read in any order as they stand alone as well as developing the characters within each story.
An intelligent and satisfactory book by a great author which leaves you feeling contented and convinced that Peter Diamond has made everything right in this mixed up world again. Or at least until you start reading his next book……
